Introduction

a once holy site turned wyvern rookery

Welcome to the wilderness east of the great nation of Kaxos. Dangers are hidden amongst the serene rolling hills. Nature has reclaimed most of the footholds carved out by humans and places that were once safe are no longer so. In the hills there is a place of worship, abandoned and desolate, yet now inhabited by a mother Wyvern corrupted by the unlikely finding of a magical aetherous power source that has taken hold of her mind. The matron wyvern has built a strange bulbous nest made of her own essence that has changed after introduction of the power source. Her young scour the area for food and shiny objects that may rouse her from her from within, to no avail.

The Matron

Young Wyvern

The aetherous power source is broken, reaching out around itself and extending tendrils down from the nest into the unrestful dead below the church grounds. Will some brave adventurers happen upon this unfortunate corruption and stop it from spreading? Will the Matron be disturbed from her slumber? What treasures lie hidden within?
